Bonus Whoring Idea for Saving
 

I was chatting with a buddy and he says to me – “Do you use ING for savings and investing?”

I do not and he asks me to sign up through him. I laugh cause he wants the $25. I am not laughing at the amount, but I laugh because he is trying to get $25. So, come back with a few bonus whores offers. (ok not the idea).

I have never played poker to support myself. I have never paid bills with it (directly) Whenever I win a nice sum of money, I cash out and buy myself something nice. Clothes, toys, trips. Funding AC trips.

I have been rolling money over (barring a few tough losses) from site to site, casino to casino. Never keeping any in savings, always spending it or risking it.

Here is my idea (that I doubt is new) why not send a certain percentage or amount o an ING saving account and forget it. What I mean is this – if I can take $300 a month out of my paycheck and send it to a second savings account, then why not do the same for w/d’s! So this is my new idea. Every w/d I make, I will take 20% and send it to my new ING account.

1) Anyone else do this?
2) Anyone have better suggestions than ING?

I have read: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...amp;PHPSESSID=

3) Does anyone have a better offer than $25 to refer a friend at ING? There has got to be a better deal than that?

Note: Remember, my plan is not to invest a large sum of money. It is simply start with – say - $500. Then add to it (say $10 a week).

You'd be better off using Emigrant to do this. They offer a better savings rate than ING. Link

What's so bad about your friend trying to get $25? It's called whoring!

so basically you just realized you didn't have to waste your poker winnings on clothes. because i don't think anyone on here has ever thought of that before. my wardrobe rivals that of liberace.

ING and the like should really only be used for storing money that you need to have highly liquid. You're giving up a substantial amount of return for the ability to get your money out in a few days. Even the best savings accounts aren't good long-term investments.
